You
want to be in control of the way you’re perceived
by the people around you. We all do. It’s
why we bother to care about our clothes and hairstyles.
It’s why we rehearse important conversations
in our head before we have them.
But
there’s one part of your "public self" that
makes a faster, more powerful, and longer lasting
impression than any other. And if you’re
like most people, it’s something you don’t
give any thought to at all.
Before
I tell you what this crucial element is, consider
this brief story:
A
well-known multibillion-dollar Wall Street financial
institution had just experienced the best quarter
in its history. The CFO was set to announce this
news in a speech he was delivering to a group of
shareholders, executives, and analysts.
The
CFO painstakingly prepared the content of his speech.
He memorized it thoroughly and practiced it for
hours. And because he had nothing but great information
to share, he was anticipating an excited, enthusiastic
response.
But
what he got was just the opposite.
When he finished speaking and began to take questions, he could tell
that something had gone terribly wrong. It was clear that the audience
felt he was hiding something, that they were suspicious of him and believed
there was some sort of "bad news" he was covering up.
He
was stunned by this turn of events. So stunned,
in fact, that he decided to call in an expert to
help analyze the situation—a world-renowned
vocal coach whose training and techniques are the
secret weapons of some of the most popular, persuasive
communicators around.
The
vocal coach was flown in immediately, and the two
men sat down to discuss the problem. The CFO had
a videotape of the speech that he had planned to
review in the meeting. He reached for the videocassette
and stood up to put it in the VCR, but the consultant
stopped him. "Don’t bother," he
said. "I don’t need to see it."
The
CFO was shocked. "What do you mean? I brought
you all the way here to tell me where I went wrong
in this speech. You need to see it if you’re
going to figure out why it flopped!" The consultant
shook his head. "No, I don’t. I already
know why it flopped. I knew it the moment we started
talking."
When
it comes to important communication, most of us
are like the CFO. We spend the bulk of our time
worrying about what we are going to say: the words
we’ll use, and the way those words fit together
to express whatever it is we are trying to get
across.
But
when it comes to powerful, effective communication,
the truth is how you say your words matters far
more than the words themselves!
I’m
talking about your voice. That’s right! The
way your voice sounds is an unbelievably critical
component in any successful communication.
Research
has shown that the words you speak account for
about 7 percent of what makes you believable to
someone else. Just 7 percent!
So
what accounts for the other 93%? Tonality and physiology:
the way you sound when you’re communicating,
and what your body is doing while you’re
communicating.
Here’s
why:
The instant you begin speaking, people listening to you begin to form
very definite opinions and judgments about your intelligence, your personality,
your sincerity, your authority, your abilities, your background, and
more.
These
opinions begin to form and solidify within the
first five seconds of your speech—long before
the actual words you’re saying begin to take
on any significant meaning for the listener. And
once established, they can be extremely difficult
to change. Even when the words you’re saying
completely contradict the message your tonality
is sending.
That’s
why even the most carefully worded, painstakingly
practiced speech, presentation, or conversation
can go completely awry, the way it did for our
CFO.
Commuicate
with charisma, clarity, and absolute precision
using the secret weapon of the stars!
People who use their voice to make a living—like actors, singers,
radio personalities, motivational speakers, and politicians—are
acutely aware of this. They know that if they want to succeed, they need
to be able to communicate clearly and precisely, and they need to be
able to accurately predict their audiences’ reactions and opinions.
As
a result, these stars spend a lot of time and money
learning how to understand and gain control over
their voice. And over and over again, they’ve
turned to one man to help them do it: Roger Love.
I
have spent more than 25 years helping to build
some of the most successful talents in the business
and entertainment worlds. I am the vocal coach
to Anthony Robbins, Suze Orman, Dr. Laura Schlessinger,
and a host of superstar musicians, actors, and
actresses. I am also the expert our CFO called
in to analyze his failed speech.
You
may not be a movie star or public speaker. And
you may never have given more than a passing thought
to the sound of your voice. But the fact is, you’re
constantly communicating with "audiences" of
one kind or another: your clients, colleagues,
kids, spouse, all of the people you encounter through
the course of a day.
Your
level of achievement, happiness, and satisfaction
in life is directly related to the outcomes of
those communications. If you want them to be as
successful as possible, it is vital that you gain
control of the one factor that, more than any other,
determines communication success: your voice.
In
my all-new Nightingale-Conant audio program Vocal
Power, I will teach you how to truly understand
the power of your voice, maximize its pluses, and
minimize its flaws. You’ll exude confidence
and charisma every single time you speak, and when
you do, your audience will hear exactly what you
want them to hear.
What
do people really hear when YOU start talking?
My assessment of the CFO’s problem was quite simple, and 100% accurate: "They
didn’t like the sound of his voice."
If
you’ve ever been surprised by the way your
voice sounds on an answering machine, then you
know that the voice you hear in your head is very
different from the one the rest of the world hears.
As
soon as he heard the CFO speak, I knew why he created
such a negative impression among his audience.
His voice communicated nervousness and anxiety.
The CFO couldn’t hear it, but his audience
picked up on it immediately, before they started
picking up on the actual content of his speech,
and they interpreted it as sneakiness and deception.
The
same sort of thing may be happening to you all
the time. You could be communicating weakness when
you mean to convey strength... aggressiveness,
when you want to come across as relaxed... insecurity,
when confidence is what’s called for... or
worse!
In
the very first session of Vocal Power, you’ll
take an Instant Evaluation that will enable you
to hear yourself the way other people hear you,
and identify where your vocal problems may lie.
Is
your voice too gravelly or too breathy? Too low
or too high? Are you using too much air, or not
enough? You’ll find out for sure when you
take this evaluation. And then you’ll discover
what you can do about it.
Create
vocal masterpieces with the universal ingredients
of speaking success
Volume. Tone. Pitch. Melody. Pace. If you’re not a singer, you
probably don’t give much thought to these things. But every time
you speak, each one of these elements comes into play—for better
or for worse.
You
might think of them as raw ingredients. Combine
them in the right amounts and in the right way
using a great recipe, and you’ll create something
fantastic. Throw them together with no thought
and no plan, and you could end up with a disaster
on your hands.
More
than anything else, communicating your message
and emotions clearly is a matter of using volume,
tone, pitch, melody, and pace in the right way.
In
Vocal Power, you’ll learn how to identify
and control each of these elements in your own
voice to achieve the desired vocal effect: confident
in a job interview... calm when sharing a potentially
upsetting piece of news... authoritative when conducting
a meeting with employees or making a presentation
to clients... or whatever quality you want to express
in a given situation.
And
that’s just the beginning.
In
these twelve "how-to"-packed sessions,
you’ll learn dozens and dozens of simple
nuts-and-bolts techniques, exercises, tips, and
strategies that will literally transform your voice
into an amazingly powerful tool, including how
to:
Instantly
sound stronger and more powerful by doing just
one thing differently
Master the "secret voice" that will miraculously change every
sound that comes out of your mouth
Create deliberate, predictable effects on your listeners by controlling
the sounds you bring into your voice
Match your voice to a wide range of messages, circumstances, or situations
without ever sounding artificial or unnatural
Eliminate annoying, distracting "fillers" such as um and uh
from your speech forever
Permanently conquer stage fright
Use food and drink effectively to keep your voice in prime condition
(There’s a lot of misinformation on this subject. Roger sorts fact
from fiction.)
Maintain ideal posture throughout any speech or presentation without
giving it a second thought
Record the perfect voice mail message (You’ll never cringe at your
own voice again!)
And so much more!
You’ll also learn how to align your newfound vocal power with a
confident physiology and mindset. No more awkward hands, shuffling feet,
or darting eyes. I will help you identify and break the bad mind and
body habits you have now, and replace them with gestures, postures, expressions,
and ideas that communicate strength and confidence from the inside out.
All
of the techniques I share are easy to understand
and practice. And you’ll find that they quickly
become second nature. You won’t have to think
about what pace you should be speaking at or how
much melody you should put into your voice. You’ll
simply do it. Your voice will instinctively adapt
itself to the emotion and intent of every message
you want to send.
In
the end, you’ll know how to harmonize your
voice, body, and mind into one smooth, synchronized,
powerful communication machine.
Can
changing your voice really change your life? Try
this experiment and see!
Spend 30 days putting Vocal Powers’ simple exercises and techniques
to the test.
Before
you get to the end of the first session, you’ll
experience the ways these simple exercises can
enhance and enliven your voice.
And
as soon as you use them out in the real world of
everyday communications, I guarantee you’ll
be amazed by the results.
People
who know you will immediately recognize a positive
change in you. They might ask you if you’ve
lost weight or changed your hairstyle. What they’ll
be noticing, without realizing it, is a powerful
new aura of self-assurance—the natural result
of your inner and outer selves being completely
in synch and "on message."
You’ll
find that the people you encounter throughout your
day respond differently to you too. They’ll
listen more closely, express more interest, and
respond to your communications in exactly the ways
you want them to. You’ll never stop reaping
the benefits of this remarkable information, and
you’ll feel them in every part of your life.
You’ll
also receive two FREE bonus sessions designed to
help you make the maximum number of vocal changes
in the least amount of time. The simple exercises
you’ll discover in these sessions will take
you from inexperience to confidence—from
shy to amazing.
Every
day, all day long, sounds are coming out of your
mouth. Either you’re benefiting from those
sounds, or your’re suffering from them.
Vocal
Power will give you all of the information and
techniques you need to put your best self forward
and get exactly what you want out of every single
communication in your life. The effect is nothing
short of magical!
